about

This is another love song written for my husband, Carlos Hernandez, who was my true and dear friend long before he was my ardent beloved, and who always supported me and loved my music--even before I started writing it for him. He also took my la-de-da melody and jazzed it up a bit, with beautiful results.

lyrics

O salubrious bruise
You bright scar becoming
First thought of morning
O you mendicant muse
Relentlessly far
As near as my breathing

How the drench of your scent
Takes over then sun-
Light, stains all my clothing
How your tenderness clings
Like spidersilk, milk-
Sweet, bitter as coffee

Why must I be afraid
When what you would give
Is bravery freely?
Why should I be unsure
When sure as my pulse
Your love comes like springtime?

Here, the impact is yours
The cracks in my armor
Filling with starlight
Slow, our long conversation
Giving and taking
Skies undiscovered
